What works to prevent partner violence-An Evidence Overview
Abstract
This study was supported by the Department for International Development, United Kingdom (DFID). The report is grounded in a conceptual understanding of violence known as the ecological model of abuse. The report includes seven chapters. Each of the six substantive chapters reviews the theoretical and empirical evidence linking the particular factor to partner violence and summarizes what is known about the effectiveness of interventions at either the individual or the population level. The 7 Chapter assesses the evidence base itself. How adequate are current studies for making judgments about future investments? What limitations prevent us from being able to draw firm conclusions about effectiveness? What evaluation gaps should be prioritized in the next generation of research? The report concludes with a series of reflections on the way forward.
